  1. So I mentioned in the other thread I went with the Speedplay Chrome-moly due to cost and availability.

    I am used to riding the Speedplay X/3's. Is it normal that the force required to get in and out of the pedal for the Zeros are much higher than the X series? I think my cleat is attached with the proper amount of force, as in the screws are not too tight, but it seems difficult to release, but even more difficult to get into it. I have lubed the spring. Is my cleat on wrong? Normal to have lots of tension? Something else?

    Might be coz they're new. Obvious, I know. Can't think of anything else other than adjusting the tension screw.
